MIKE HENEBRY ORCHESTRA

FESTIVALS

The MHO is always a big hit at classic jazz festivals. In most cases, the same people that like trad jazz, Dixieland, or classic jazz, also enjoy Big Band Swing (let's face it, they have musical taste!). And, of course, the dancers love it! Adding the MHO is a great way to significantly enhance your lineup.

The MHO has played at the Los Angeles Classic Jazz Festival, The Sweet & Hot Jazz Festival, the So Cal Jazz Festival, the Big Bear Festival, and the Orange County Classic Jazz Festival.

At a festival, the MHO is usually asked to recreate the "Swing Era" in general. But they can also do special sets, such as a tribute to Benny Goodman, or Artie Shaw, or Glenn Miller, etc. Usually, to keep your costs at a minimum, the MHO is hired to do 2-4 sets back-to-back.

The young and handsome Jeff Gilbert (and arguably the best male crooner alive) frequently performs with the band and is available upon request. Also available, as a special added attraction, is Chuck Cecil. Mr. Cecil is the nationally- syndicated radio personality of the "Swingin' Years." 

Without exception, the Mike Henebry Orchestra has been among the top draws of every Jazz Festival that they have appeared in. In fact, most of the time they draw the biggest crowds of the entire festival. And why not? Everybody loves Big Bands, and the MHO is one of the best!
